Larry Stanley Photography

I got my first camera at 5 years old. That was the beginning!

My father gave me the gift of a German 120mm roll film camera and a small black and white enlarger. With great patience he would help me process and print the images I captured. By the time I was 7 I was making photos on my own, capturing my friends and family. (That's me with my first camera)

Out of the basement darkroom came small glimpses of my emerging future; prints that showed an appreciation for the constantly arising visual world around me. My life long passion for capturing the beautiful and poignant moments of life had been born.

Interest continued to emerge in photography and art throughout my youth. Through a circuitous route of living, studies and travel in Missouri, Colorado, California, Hawaii, Australia, the Philippines, China and Tibet, I have made my home in Livingston, Montana; still constantly in search of "beauty... as it occurs naturally".

Today, I travel around the United States and beyond, photographing for wedding clients that value my unique style of imagery. Recent destination weddings include New Hampshire, California, the Island of Grand Bahamas, and the beautiful Hill Country near Concan, Texas. Of course the list of destinations would not be complete without mentioning the weddings all over the "Big Sky Country" State of Montana from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone National Park.
